New Aremcolox 502-1100 machinable, alumino-silicate ceramic can be used to produce electrical and thermal insulators, feed-thrus, furnace carriers, brazing fixtures, welding shields, soldering fixtures, and burner nozzles. Suitable for applications reaching 2,100°F (1,150°C), Aremcolox 502-1100 is designed to allow engineers to create reliable, low-cost ceramic parts. Features include a compressive strength of 25 Kpsi, dielectric strength of 100 V per mil, and thermal conductivity of 9.0 BTU-in/hr-ft²-°F. With a coefficient of thermal expansion of 2.5 in./in./°F x 10^-6, the material is ideal for thermal shock applications. Engineers can use the ceramic in oxidizing, reducing, or vacuum aospheres. It designed not to outgas in ultra-high vacuum, and does not react with most molten metals, salts, and acids. Aremcolox 502-1100 is machined using conventional tooling and fired via a simple procedure to make it fully dense. Stock sizes include plates from 1/4 to 1 in. thick, rods from 1/4 to 7 in. diameter, and bars from 1 x 1 to 4 x 4 in. Parts can be fabricated per customer specifications.
